The Challenge Machinery Company provides owner's manuals on its 
products solely as a courtesy to its customers. See the information below 
before using this manual.  

 

These manuals are for reference only. These manuals include products which are noncurrent, 
unsupported or no longer produced by The Challenge Machinery Company, and are provided solely as 
an accommodation to our customers. By providing these manuals, The Challenge Machinery Company 
makes no representation or warranty as to the products, their current condition, or their suitability or 
fitness for use in any particular application, which are the sole and independent responsibility of the 
product owner and user.  

 

Older products may not comply with current safety procedures, guidelines or regulations, and it 
is the product owner's and user's responsibility to evaluate the suitability and fitness of the 
products in their current use and application. The Challenge Machinery Company makes no 
representation, warranty or recommendation regarding any modifications which may be 
required on non-current or unsupported products. The Challenge Machinery Company assumes 
no liability for any modification or alteration to any Challenge product, and any such 
modification or alteration to any Challenge product is not authorized by The Challenge 
Machinery Company.
 The availability of these manuals is solely for the purpose of providing reference 
information for the products.  

 

This manual may not be complete in all aspects of product maintenance and repair. All products 
should be used only by qualified and properly trained personnel, following proper safety 
procedures.
 All products should be regularly inspected and maintained, and their condition, application 
and use should be periodically evaluated by qualified personnel. Only qualified and properly trained 
technicians should perform maintenance, repair and replacement procedures. Attempting these 
procedures without proper training may cause machine damage or operator injury!  

 

Products may be unsupported by The Challenge Machinery Company due to age or the unavailability of 
parts from their original manufacturer. No parts or product support will be available to repair or maintain 
unsupported products. Older products may not be UL listed (if the product does not have a UL label it is 
not a listed product), and may not comply with applicable installation or other regulations or 
requirements if relocated to a new facility. Many municipalities require a product to be UL listed before 
an electrician will connect power to them. Often the cost of updating an older product to comply with 
current safety regulations is greater than the value of the product.
